West Africa – Olam’s “Home Turf” + Huge opportunity

24 years in Africa: Olam has significant local context and distribution infrastructure across West Africa

Africa’s Growth: Highest population, consumption and GDP growth for next 2 decades

Changing demographic profile: Increasing urbanisation and greater discretionary spending are main growth drivers

Opportunity to shape: Evolving consumer tastes and preferences allow opportunity for early entrants to shape industry development

Erect entry barriers: Followers attempting to enter 4 to 5 years from now will face entry barriers and find it expensive to gain share
